This is a great call.

'Replacement level pro is probably true too but sounds way too negative for someone who is an elite athlete.

Practice squad player.

At 250 your bench should start with a 4 or 5. I'm 190 rn and my bench is at 355, and it's nothing to write home about; there are guys 30lb lighter doing more.

I've been complaining about this shit for forever and Poasting about it. Being a Loser who is 90th percentile is useless. You have to Sacrifice your Life or be Lucky to actually get anywhere at anything. There are communities of autists dedicated to speedrunning crappy Genesis games. Whatever record you set at Mario Kart as a kid is SHIT and you wasted your time, champ.

Im playing a final fantasy mmo (14)

In my hours after work I can do the hard modes but there is an additional hard mode above it I simply cannot crack into, prett much everyone who does it is a full time or pro gamer / retired person / loser with no job

Like they play 12 hours a day for weeks, just for bragging rights. They don’t even enjoy it. They only enjoy being able to say they’re better / a cut above the lower tier players (people with jobs who aren’t idle rich or actual psychos on ssdi

I never even got enjoyment out of beating badass difficult NES, Genesis, or many parts of Souls games but wtf am I supposed to do? Avoid hard games like a Woman? It’s the nature of the assignment. I’m a gamer ffs. I platinumed FF7 Remake, rebirth, and intermission btw.

Like you cant just chill and enjoy this game

There are 'recruitment' irc chats so people can find eachother to play the game and the posts are some of the most excruciating shit imaginable just to get your foot in the door. Goyim using their PTO as a selling point to join the hardcore groups, shucking & jiving their past "exp" (experience) doing the same bullshit in this game

Theyre interviewing to play a game they already paid for

ChatGPT: "If you want something more nuanced, you could use the phrase "a big fish in a small pond." This suggests that while the person is outstanding in a general context, they are less remarkable when placed in a more competitive or specialized environment. For a more precise term, you might consider "relative expertise" or "relative proficiency" to highlight their standing within a specific group."
